“Spirit Within” [Verse 1] In the stillness, stripped of sound Where my shadows crowd around I can see what I have been Just a fractured heart within Made of dust that tastes like breath Pulled by life and pulled by death I have walked the crooked way Every time the flesh held sway [Chorus] I need Your Spirit here Not as comfort, but as reign Let Him rise within Let Him wrestle every chain For the war is in my soul Where the lies and truth contend Let Your Spirit stand Till the will of flesh will bend [Verse 2] There is law inside my mind Dragging me again to blind There is hunger in my frame Quick to chase the smaller flame Left alone, I turn away Trade the light for slow decay Yet Your whisper calls again Not to strive, but lean and bend [Chorus] I need Your Spirit here Not as echo, but as fire Set against the flesh And its howling, For the war is in my soul And I cannot overcome Let Your Spirit move Till Your will and mine are one [Bridge] Not by strength of man Not by biting will But Your Spirit fights Till my heart is still Put to death this flesh Every proud desire Let the inward war Be consumed in fire [Chorus] I need Your Spirit here As the victor in the fight Not beside my strength But the pulse of truer life I was never made To prevail by will alone Let Your Spirit dwell Lay Your claim to what is Yours [Outro] Rule within my soul Make this torn-up heart whole
